SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

    National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS)--
Revision--(OMB Control No. 0920-0822, Expiration--6/30/2016), National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control

(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 2010, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence 
Surveillance System (NISVSS) reported that approximately 6.9 million 
women and 5.6 million men experienced rape, physical violence and/or 
stalking by an intimate partner within the last year. The health care 
costs of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) exceed $5.8 billion each year, 
nearly $3.9 billion of which is for direct medical and mental health 
care services.
    In order to address this important public health problem, CDC 
implemented, beginning in 2010, the National Intimate Partner and 
Sexual Violence Surveillance System that produces national and state 
level estimates of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence 
(SV) and stalking on an annual basis.
    This revision request is multi-faceted. CDC is requesting a 
continuation of data collection among non-institutionalized adult men 
and women aged 18 years or older in the United States assessing 
lifetime experiences of IPV, SV and stalking with a new and improved 
data collection tool. The revisions to the survey are aimed at reducing 
the time and complexity of the instrument, thus reducing the burden on 
the respondent. The simplified structure of the instrument will also 
reduce the complexity of the data set, making it more assessable for 
public use. Additionally, in collaboration with the Department of 
Defense (DoD), NISVS will collect information regarding the experiences 
of IPV, SV and stalking among active duty women and men in the military 
and wives of active duty men. This data collection will take place 
during the first three months of data collection.
    To comply with OMB requirements, CDC is in the process of 
developing an expert panel to address methodological issues with the 
NISVS survey. The panel will meet multiple times over the course of the 
next year. The members of this panel will provide guidance on how to 
improve both survey design (methods, sampling frame, recruitment, mode 
of administration) and content/question wording with the goals of 
increasing response rates, reducing non-response bias, and maximizing 
the opportunities across Federal surveys for covering populations of 
interest. This change request also encompasses the implementation of 
the panel's recommendations to improve the survey.
    In the bi-annual data collection periods, total of 170,000 
households will be screened. After determining eligibility and consent, 
25,000 will complete the survey. The average burden per screened 
respondent remains at three minutes (total burden in hours equals 
8,500) while the average burden per surveyed respondent is 25 minutes 
(total burden in hours equals 10,417). The survey will be conducted 
among English or Spanish speaking male and female adults (18 years and 
older) living in the United States.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
